Standard Edition

This includes the base game (digital key for PC, digital key or physical copy for Console) of Anno 117: Pax Romana.

Build your provinces with unmatched detail, flexibility, and scale. Watch kids chase dogs through the streets or admire thousands cheering in the arena. Build upon the land that you see, from the beautiful heartland of Latium to the mysterious Celtic wetlands of Albion… where no civilized Roman wants to be.

Forge alliances across the empire or showcase your might with strategic land battles and naval combat. You may even defy the emperor himself—but not without consequences.
